Boston Bicycle Belles

The ladies who bike in Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, and beyond

Belles update! April 24, 2012

Hello fabulous belles of Boston who bicycle-

Just a reminder about our ride and picnic this Sunday on Memorial Drive… weather calls for a slight chance of rain at the moment, but for now we’ll plan to ride (and will let you know as it gets closer to Sunday if we’ll reschedule). RSVP and invite your friends (https://www.facebook.com/events/304500932952228/). Hubway has bikes available just across the river from our meeting spot if that makes it easier for some of you (http://thehubway.com/stations).


Also! The Cyclofemme ride (https://www.facebook.com/events/263002600451736/) is coming up in a few weeks, and we are planning to do a test ride to finalize our route, test out picnic spots (apparently the arboretum is off limits, but there are other park areas nearby), and coordinate various plans before the event.  Please let us know (email us here) if you’d like to help with planning, and we’ll be in touch. We’re thinking perhaps early in the day on Saturday the 5th (before the Cinco de Mayo margarita-drinking commences) or sometime on Sunday the 6th.

And please, invite your friends and spread the word. You can use the hashtag #cyclofemme if you are on twitter. We’d love to have an awesome pack of ladies touring the city in force. It also happens to be Mothers’ Day if your mom lives nearby and wants to join us.

Thanks Ladies!

xoxo,

The Belles

Is there any man who doesn’t get more handsome on a bike… with a sharp outfit, a cool bike, and a dog in a basket?

Belles highlights from 2011… looking forward to this year. And we really need to start taking more photos of our rides.

1st ride of the season: Sunday, April 1st

Our first ride of the year is coming up a week from Sunday, and we are super excited because our modest little Facebook group has grown rapidly in the last few months!  Looking forward to another great year of leisurely rides around Boston, picnics, and maybe a bike pub crawl (or two, or four). 

New ladies are ALWAYS welcome. Email or tweet at us to join. Or just RSVP directly on the Facebook event page.

For our first ride, we’re meeting in Harvard Square and heading out for a ride along the Charles and then ending up at Deep Ellum for brunch on the (hopefully) sunny patio.

See you there!

the Belles

Crafty ladies: DIY panniers! I’m not the best seamstress, but I so want to attempt these.  Maybe some fellow Belles with better sewing skills can help (hint, hint).
